GRAND RAPIDS, MI --

Police at Michigan's Gerald Ford International Airport say they are investigating the claims of a driver who suspects the valet service of taking his car for a spin. Joel Lathrop says he set the trip odometer on his Mercedes to zero when he dropped it off Monday.

But when he returned Thursday, Lathrop says the trip odometer read 80 miles.
